A couple of days ago, Wanda and I paid a visit to the Koala Park Sanctuary. Part sanctuary and part petting zoo, the place is a nice way to see the local wildlife without having to tromp through the brush.
A little penguin from Tasmania.
A dingo. They look like normal dogs but howl like wolves.
There were lots of different types of birds in cages scattered throughout the facility.
A cute kangaroo.
The park allowed these particular kangaroos to roam about and take food handouts.
It’s a KANGAROO!
Yes, they are ridiculously cute.
The possum wasn’t coming out to play.
I scored some free food so I could feed one of the kangaroos.
These wallabies were behind a fence. Maybe they’ve tasted human flesh and have to be kept away?
A sleeping wombat.
Some birds wandering around.
The koala hospital where koalas that have been hit by cars or bitten by dogs get treated.
I’m going to guess peacocks aren’t native to Australia.
Poor parrot. It knew how to talk.
Koalas hanging out.
Wanda petting a koala.
I got in on the act as well.
Emus.
A cassowary.
It’s supposed to be the most dangerous bird in the world. They didn’t seem that bad to me.
Baby on board.
This one has a baby nursing, hence the upside-down feet.
Flying foxes.
A koala rest station.
Shearing sheep in Australia. Well, in a tourist park anyway. The guy’s accent is top notch!
